The अगला day, the members of The Devil Wants Peace and the members of New Religion went out to eat together. They all got to talk to John's girlfriend, Caryn, through an app that enabled them to see her. When John introduced Erin, Lola, Carl, and Paul, she said, "John has told me a lot about आप all." Erin said, "He's told us a lot about you, too. He seems so happy when he talks about you." Caryn said, "Aw! You're just saying that. Really?" Lola said, "It's true." After a pause, Caryn asked, "Are आप okay, Paul?" He said, "Yeah, I'm okay." She said, "You look so sad." He said, "I recently लॉस्ट my Husky, Nunavut." She said, "I'm sorry to hear that. I know that must be hard. If I लॉस्ट my dog, Georgia, I don't know what I'd do." He said, "I've been trying to write a song for Nunavut, but I can't do it without breaking down. Why is this so hard, Caryn?" She said, "Going through any loss is hard. When आप grow to प्यार someone, losing them is always the worst part. I've never लॉस्ट a dog before, but I did lose a pet once. He was a gerbil. His name was Butter. He was great entertainment, and I loved seeing him pop up when I'd enter the room. When he died, I was heartbroken." Paul asked, "What helped आप cope?" Caryn replied, "I allowed myself to be sad for a while. Then, when I started feeling a little bit better, I painted a picture of Butters. Maybe when आप start feeling better, it'll be easier for आप to write a song for Nunavut. Just take it one दिन at a time, Paul." He said, "Thank you, Caryn." She said, "You're welcome."
The first दिन of spring was approaching. Leila and Greeley were on Spring Break. Leila said, "It doesn't seem possible that we're going to be finished with our first साल of college in less than two months." He said, "I know." She said, "It's also hard to believe that my dog, Paul, is not a कुत्ते का बच्चा, पिल्ला anymore. He's fully grown." Greeley said, "They grow up very quickly." She said, "They really do. I also can't believe that my birthday is coming up. It's the first दिन of spring this year, March 20. I'm going to be eighteen." Greeley said, "Happy Birthday." She said, "Thank you." Knowing that she had फ्रेंड्स that she didn't have to say "I thought we were friends" to gave Leila comfort. She also knew that she didn't have to have a romantic relationship to complete her. She has and supportive aunt and uncle and great friends. Because of that, she's not lonely at all.
